Exhibition: WSH v. ATL
March 21st, 2007 | by jg3 |Today the Nats are back at HSCS for their first night game to play the Atlanta Braves. 
Lil bro wrapped up his workday/workweek by using his cellphone as a modem and my cellphone to join a conference call and talk to a group of super-serious New York investment firm’s IT dudes. He’s in the parking lot of HSCS, sitting in the front seat of his car using his Guzman jersey to shade his laptop from the sun and they’re in some windowless cubicle farm. Beautiful. If I ever have one of those “what is all this technology good for?” moments again I’ll only have to reference this image.
Once his call was over and the virtual paperwork was done he was able to close down the virtual office and we headed into the stadium. We sat on the front row of section 204 which meant that all the people walking through the main aisle were walking in front of us, but it never really became too big of a problem. We were staring down the first base line, enjoying the last few rays of the day’s sunshine when I saw a player standing on the field near the Nats dugout and realized that it was #21, Dimitri Young, the “Big D” (as lots of people are calling him now, so I’m more sure that I wasn’t the first - but so what). So I figured I should at least give it a shot to see if I could squeeze through the crowd and get an autograph. By providence I was able to walk almost right up to him and as he handed back a ball and a marker to the little leaguer on my left he looked up at me and reached out for my ready hat and marker. Awesome.
